One of the truisms of #MeToo is that there is never just one accusation against sexual predators. I don't think Al Franken's sins were criminal, but there were a lot of them. The single accusation against, for instance, Aziz Ansari matters, because that was a single instance of a bad date. Sexual predators are predators; they prey on women. Plural.
We have yet another accusation against Trump. That makes roughly 21 women who have accused Trump.
He's a rapist. OK, accused rapist. Whatever.
People have noted that this will not have any impact on his base. They are, after all, deplorable.
But I think this is why about 55% of Americans say they will never vote for him. Still, for 45% of Americans, being a rapist isn't apparently disqualifying. That's just appalling.
